Multiresidential “Kleine Weide“
A multi-residential housing precedent showcasing clean light plaster volumes, textured ground-floor rustication, and perforated metal balcony guards.
- What we like about this project
- The contrast between the smooth upper plaster finish and the heavy textured aggregate base course.

- urban-infill
- facade-rhythm
- Geometry
- Linear multi-story residential blocks with orthogonal punched openings and recessed balcony volumes breaking the plane.
- Facade system
- External insulation and finish system (EIFS) or light render over masonry with recessed metal-mesh balconies.
- Structural guess
- Concrete frame or load-bearing masonry wall construction.
- Spatial scale
- Four-story residential blocks scaled appropriately for a neighborhood multi-family context, with pedestrians providing immediate scale reference.
- Lighting
- Bright midday sun casting clear short shadows on the street facade and ground plane.
- Atmosphere
- Crisp, bright, and calm neighborhood atmosphere under a clear sky.
- Environmental context
- Suburban or campus-like residential setting with mature pine trees, lawn areas, and paved pathways.
- Spatial experience
- The street-facing facade presents a clean rhythm of openings that engages directly with the pedestrian realm and green open spaces.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical window alignments combined with staggered recessed balcony modules create a balanced rhythm across the long facade.
